Before this there was no way to prevent the bot to reply to random
channel noise from a temprorary strong link to another distant mesh.
This provides the ability for users in larger meshes to cap the bot
to reply to only messages sent likely from nearby repeaters. This works
well in conjunction with region scoping.
Default value is still 64, to not change behavior on existing installs,
but the example config.ini's all include a suggested start valu of 10.
- Added `channelpause` and `channelresume` commands to the admin commands list in configuration files, allowing admins to pause or resume bot responses on public channels via DM.
- Updated documentation to reflect the new command functionality and its implications for channel responses.
- Modified validation and message handling to incorporate the new channel response control feature.
- Introduced a new `[Data_Retention]` section in `config.ini.example` to manage retention periods for various database tables, including packet stream, daily stats, and observed paths.
- Updated `mkdocs.yml` and `configuration.md` to include documentation for the new data retention settings.
- Implemented data retention cleanup methods in `mesh_graph.py`, `repeater_manager.py`, and `scheduler.py` to enforce retention policies automatically.
- Enhanced the web viewer's data cleanup logic to utilize the new retention settings, ensuring efficient database management.
- Introduced a new section on config validation in configuration.md, detailing how to validate section names and path writability before starting the bot.
- Updated mkdocs.yml to include a link to the new config validation documentation.
- Added a reference to config validation in index.md for improved navigation.
- Renamed various documentation files to use lowercase for improved consistency, including `WEB_VIEWER.md`, `DOCKER.md`, and `PATH_COMMAND_CONFIG.md`.
- Updated references in `config.ini.example`, `docker-setup.sh`, `README.md`, and multiple documentation files to reflect the new file names.
- Removed obsolete documentation files related to the Discord Bridge, Map Uploader, Packet Capture, and Weather Service, streamlining the documentation structure.
- Introduced `channel_keywords` option in the configuration files to limit bot responses in monitored channels to specified keywords, enhancing control over channel interactions.
- Updated relevant documentation and examples to reflect the new feature, ensuring users understand how to implement keyword restrictions.
- Modified the command manager to support the new keyword filtering logic, allowing for more efficient message handling in channels.
- Deleted COMMANDS.md, DOCKER.md, WEB_VIEWER.md, and other related documentation files to streamline the project structure.
- Updated README.md and other documentation references to point to the new locations of the command and Docker instructions.
- Added optional dependencies for documentation generation in pyproject.toml.
